If no user-specified TSC rate is present, we will try to set
env->tsc_khz to the value returned by KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ.

If you send a new version of this series, please to describe
"why", not "what". We can see in the code that we are setting
env->tsc to the value used by KVM, but the comment need to
explain why.
